Just so you know, Movies Unlimited is having a DVD sale - Thousands of DVDs for stocking stuffers: $7-$10. We made a big haul. The first one we put on was Abbott and Costello Meet the Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).
Have I mentioned that we got the collected Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters? And we love them? Well, this isn't really one of them. It's a Colgate Comedy Hour TV show with a short Abbott and Costello sketch at the end. It is mainly about a couple of comics doing impressions and Sonja Henie doing ice dancing. The thing is - the comics are great and Sonja is Sonja.
I can't find the comics' names (after doing a very lazy lookup), but we liked them a lot. One was older, a dry Fred Allen type. The younger one was all teeth and manic gestures - of course, the older one kept stepping on his lines. They were pretty corny, but so are we. We loved it.
The Abbott and Costello part was fun, of course. Bud and Lou go down to the prop department to get some stuff for their skits. Some of the props are spoooooky! That includes a Frankenstein monster (Glen Strange!) and of course, the Creature.
Well, not sure this was worth the $5-$10 we paid for it. But we got our monies worth in laughs.
